One Year Anniversary
Well, it has been exactly one year since I dropped my car off to be painted. It is still not in Primer. I have a friend doing the work for a VERY good deal so I haven't pushed him too much. He started out making great progress (and there was a ton more body work than we originally expected, like 17 coats of paint to remove) but then he was put on overtime and works like 70 some hours a week......sooooo its still there. Just needed to post and vent. I should have it back this summer though. Sigh. The thread "Post all your finished cars....." makes me cry every time I check it out.

I know the feeling had my motor done by a friend 4 months later it was done, sometimes the deal is worth the wait.
